At the beginning of the week, the main library's computer lab on the second level was available again to the library patrons. Now that the lab is opened, patrons feel that it was worth the wait.

Terrance Griffin, the library's IT Manager, installed 16 new computer in the labs. Since the computers are new, one would expect some occasional glitches, but there hasn't been any thanks to Terrance's proficiency and attention to every detail.

The new computers were greatly needed and look and have the latest operating systems installed in them. The patrons are very pleased with this improvement. Closing the library and the computer labs to make these improvements has benefited everyone.

Terrance will also be installing new computers at the library's branch location.

Library computer use and network access is a privilege, and requires that individual users act responsibly. Users must respect the rights of other users, respect the integrity of the systems, data, and related physical resources, and observe all relevant laws, regulations, and contractual obligations.
